No. Both words have different meanings. Ghettos were districts in towns where Jews were forced to live. The first of these were established in many European towns and cities in medieval times. By 1870 all ghettos in Western and Central Europe had been opened and Jews were allowed to live wherever they chose. (More recently the word 'ghetto' has been extended to old, run-down urban areas occupied by poor minority groups). When the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939 they re-established ghettos - that is, sealed off areas where Jews were forced to live. The Jews had some control over their own affairs but were entirely dependent on the Nazis for food, water and other essentials. The Nazis made sure that the food supply was grossly inadequate. The best known ghettos were in Warsaw, Lodz, Krakow and Lviv (Lemberg). Concentration camps, on the other hand, were forced labour camps run by the SS. In the extermination camps the prisoners were gassed.
Camps, by far. Ghettos held only a couple of million people, where as there were tens of millions in the camps (not all at the same time).
they are essentially the same thing; they are camps for a civilian population.
the same as it was for adults, it was stopped when the Germans lost control of the camps and ghettos.
They were compelled to enter into internment camps ; the same thing as a concentration camp .
essentially yes.

Typically in any pogrom or genocide against the Jews, the Jews were killed in close proximity to where they lived, usually in the same town. The Holocaust was relatively unique in that Jews were first confined to ghettos and then shipped across the empire to concentration camps, labor camps, and death camps. Most of the outright-killing and gassing occurred at the death camps. However, abuse from guards, starvation, and disease killed many in the ghettos, concentration camps, and the labor camps.

Japanese - American citizens were forcibly compelled to go to internment camps which were essentially the same thing as concentration camps .
No. A very large part of the Holocaust was carried out in concentration camps - or to be more precise, in extermination camps. but an even larger part was carried out elsewhere, for example, in mass, open-air shootings. Please see the related questions.

The Lakota that I know call them "Death Camps," American's call them "Reservations," the Nazi's called them "Internment Camps" or "Concentration Camps." They all mean the same thing in actual practice, though the description by official sources change.
essentially yes.
People where treated the same as in concentration camps but a lot more severe.
Parole is a word that means (among other things) to be released from a concentration camp. Many people were released from concentration camps, under the threat that if they committed the same crime, they would then return to the camps permanently.
